PFIZER PROMOTION AGREEMENT  
PFIZER PROMOTION AGREEMENT PFIZER PROMOTION AGREEMENTIn August 2018, the Company entered into a Promotion Agreement (the “Original Promotion Agreement”) with Pfizer Inc. (“Pfizer”), which was amended and restated in October 2020 (the “Restated Promotion Agreement”). The Restated Promotion Agreement extends the relationship between the Company and Pfizer and restructures the manner in which the Company compensates Pfizer for promotion of the Cologuard test through a service fee, and provision of certain other sales and marketing services related to the Cologuard test. The Restated Promotion Agreement includes fixed and performance-related fees, some of which retroactively went into effect on April 1, 2020. All payments to Pfizer are recorded in sales and marketing expenses in the Company’s condensed consolidated statements of operations. Under the Original Promotion Agreement, the service fee was calculated based on incremental gross profits over specified baselines during the term. Under the Restated Promotion Agreement, the service fee provides a fee-for-service model that includes certain fixed fees and performance-related bonuses. The performance-related bonuses are contingent upon the achievement of certain annual performance criteria with any applicable expense being recognized ratably upon achievement of the payment becoming probable. The Company incurred charges of $16.8 million and $18.0 million for the service fee for the three months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively. The Company incurred charges of $63.6 million and $39.7 million for the service fee for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively. The Company incurred charges of $30.2 million and $15.8 million for promotion, sales and marketing services performed by Pfizer on behalf of the Company during the three months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively. The Company incurred charges of $88.0 million and $56.3 million for promotion, sales and marketing services performed by Pfizer on behalf of the Company during the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively. During 2022, and contingent upon the achievement of certain Cologuard test revenue metrics during 2021, the Company will pay Pfizer a royalty based on a low single-digit royalty rate applied to actual 2022 Cologuard test revenues. The term of the Restated Promotion Agreement runs through December 31, 2022.
